I believe you can do this already with a piece of paper, at gleeman mobs?

Any idea what the command might be? I tried with a musical gleeman in TV, but he did nothing with the sheet of paper I gave him.

I've never heard of the gleeman paper thing. I'd be curious about the syntax.

Qps for items may be one of the options. But I don't think non-clanneds should be left out. And it would be rather limiting, as some people (like me :-D ) don't have many qps to spare. If such a thing would be implemented, there is no reason to limit it as the goal would be to promote rp. If there is such a reason to give out only limited amounts of cat statuettes, there is no point in implementing it. I'll just start asking people before some of my rp sessions to pretend they can't see me rephantoming stuff :-D

Master only retool for rp items is not a solution, since I dare guess the biggest quantity of rp on the mud happens between Tower rank 4 and Tower rank 5-7, with Masters not being more numerous than 5+6 in the White Tower. (or are they?)

Retooling stones (the first thing that came to my mind) may be bordering the rules as was said, and it could also become complicated, if someone accidentally throws a statuette of a stretching cat at a mob (or a player without sense of humour), instead of doing something cooler with it, and gets warranted.

While I really think it shouldn't be in an exchange for qps, as I wrote above, I think it could be a nice thing to spend some money on. Like a crown (or a few crowns) per item. Hard to say what would be a good base item.

You give the stuff keeper 1 crown.
You say "borrow a statuette of two dancing fish"
The stuff keeper says "Return it to any innkeeper."
The stuff keeper mutters something about your weird tastes.

after renting, there could be just "a handful of dust" left or something.

syntax is fold i think and you can only do it with paper but it only works for gleemen

Roleplay:
At master blacksmiths, you may SAY JOIN RETOOL GUILD. This will grant you the ability to make retools of "a handful of dust".
SAY RPRETOOL DUST a comfortable sofa
The master blacksmith will check whether you are a member of the guild and then either:
-load the dust, retool it and give it to you
-if he already has dust, retool it and give it to you

A master blacksmith gives you a comfortable sofa.

The item is no-rent and 5 lbs, it can be held for rp purposes.

All transactions are logged. If you abuse this, your membership of the retool guild will be revoked and you will not be able to re-join it. If too many people abuse this, it will be removed entirely. Abuse in this case would largely be inappropriate objects and replicating quest item names. In the latter case, you will also be docked the qps gained from doing this tenfold. Use common sense.

If people play nice, this may become a permanent feature, but no promises yet.
Thanks!
